I am getting my rims redone here in a few weeks. Wondering what color to powdercoat them. Here is a pic of the current:

Sorry for the bad pic, its all I can pull up on my work comp!

I dont think that I can do the polished lip again. So consider your choice as a solid color.

i would go with the gun metal. although i loved my old 17's they were an anthracite black.

try and keep the chrome lip it looks good this way.

Yea Id like to redo them the same, but I cannot get the polished lip so I think it wouldnt "pop" enough. I think I may go with bronze, but we will see what color bronze hes got.

Keep on with the suggestions guys!

haha I think that would be silly. I have so much silver/grey on my car I thought I may shake it up abit. I am thinking like a light bronze color, so that its not to distracting

OK

So tomorrow they are getting done. However, there is a issue and that is that I cannot do bronze as the guys I go to don't have a good bronze.

So it is between:

Gold (gonna cost me a extra 100)
Silver
Gunmetal
Gloss black
White?

That will cost me alot, I need to stick to basic colors!

How much is this costing you? If you're just gunna get black or silver (which I like the best) don't your rims come in those colors? Whats the cost different in getting the rims you have powdered vs buying new ones and selling the ones you have?

Just sayin, might save you some $$ depending (I dont know how much youre paying)

I need a sample of what this gold color looks like before I can vote.

Seen silver on a silver car, looked good. Saw gun metal and that looked nice too. Hard to decide.

I vote for gun metal as well. They tend to look good on some light colored cars such as yours.
